Most common repairs needed to fix a Frigidaire refrigerator
Dispenser Replacement
When water is not coming out of the dispenser in your Frigidaire refrigerator, a defective dispenser may be causing the problem. When you press a glass or container against the dispenser lever to get water, a switch behind the lever should activate a relay that will send electrical current to the water valve so water flows through the dispenser tubing and out of the water dispenser. When the dispenser is malfunctioning, have a service technician visit your home and fix the failure.
Water Valve Replacement
When activated by the dispenser, the solenoid coil on the water valve lifts the plunger inside the valve to allow water to flow through the water tubing and out of the dispenser. If the valve solenoid coil is bad or the plunger is stuck in the shut position, water won’t flow through the valve. When water is not coming out of the dispenser in your Frigidaire refrigerator when you press the activation lever with a glass or container, have a service technician visit your home and fix the problem.
Dispenser Water Tubing Replacement
Dispenser water tubing can get clogged or pinched, preventing water flow to the dispenser when you have Frigidaire refrigerator dispenser with water not coming out. A break in the water line will cause water to leak inside the refrigerator and often onto the floor beneath your fridge. When water is not coming out of the dispenser, schedule refrigerator service to have a technician examine the dispenser water tubing and replace any damaged, pinched or cracked water lines.
